I have a “gut” feeling that you’re not going to like what you hear today. However, I think it’s important you learn about this problem so you can fix it. This is a problem that isn’t yet recognized by the mainstream medical community, so you might not get the help you need there, which is why I’ll tell you about it today. True, I didn’t learn about it in medical school, even though over 2,000 years ago the man called the father of medicine recognized the problem. (No, not me… I can’t time travel but if I could, he’s one guy I’d love to meet).  Let’s check out some of these symptoms and see if any of them sound familiar: ...

  Did you know the size of your belly, thighs, and other parts of your body may be tied to the amount of bacteria in your body? The truth is, as we study probiotics more and more, we’ve come to find they might be directly linked to your weight.   And by getting probiotics into your body, you might be able to lose weight in a way you never have before.  Which is funny when you think about it...because 20 years ago it’s unlikely any of you reading this would have gone out of your way to get some extra bacteria in your diet. And you would surely have thought bacteria would make you gain weight, as opposed to helping you lose it.  But...

In my office, one of the methods I always mention for helping improve overall health is boosting gut health. I’d be willing to guess many of you reading this have probably learned over the past few years that the health of your gut is linked to your total health. It’s why getting good bacteria, known to improve gut health, into your body is so popular now.  Understandably, most people associate improved gut health with less gas and bloat. And that’s a correct association to make. Plenty of Americans who have improved their gut health find their stomach feels better and they break wind a lot less. Many of their spouses notice this too. :) The cool thing about probiotics and gut...
